• client can use nc commant to connect to it, it will just log whatever it receives to the log file.
• when receive termination signal, it will log to the file and shut itself down.

Bounus ideas

• Create a graphical client to interact with the daemon.
• Add utility functions to your daemon (creating a remote shell by example!).
• Encrypt the sending and receiving of data (involves a customer, logically).
• Advanced archiving of logs.
• Sending mail according to selected filtering rules.
• Create an authentication system to connect to the daemon (via graphical / remote client shell).
• Use of advanced encryption systems (public / private key).
